I just Googled the phrase “Who Watches the Watchmen Trailer,” and got 545 hits. So much for that blog title.
Lord, I wish I had the strength of will to wait see this trailer as it was meant to be seen: in a theater crammed with fanboys lusting to see The Dark Knight — fanboys who don’t know that before Nolan’s sad sad sad …
I’m going on vacation. Back 7/28. You all like him better anyway.
This week, the internet has been ablaze with stories like this one on CNET.
Okay, not ablaze. But a bunch of articles. Here’s the deal. A Simpsons episode I wrote, called “The Dad Who Knew Too Little,” had a joke in it where Homer gave his email address as: ChunkyLover53@aol.com. Ha ha. Homer thinks of himself as fat and sexy. Ha …
I was trying to remember the last time I’d seen this kind of nerd feeding frenzy over something. Then I remembered.
And truly, it is a thing to behold. I got impatient yesterday with the server problems and bought a season pass on iTunes (where the evil Doctor is currently holding down the #1 slot in the TV category). $3.99 well spent …
I’ve been using the iPhone 3G since last Friday. Anita did a proper review, with, you know, testing and such. I will merely add: it’s very sweet. All the new features, even that extra G, pale beside the achievement of the App store. I was expecting a lot of rigmarole, a lot of dragging and dropping and syncing and authenticating, but …
I’m not at E3. I read about it on blogs like a normal person. While I am doing so the only thing I really care about is the trailers. So I’m going to paste all the major trailers together into one post and say things about them. Because I care.
First up: The Sims 3.
Yeah. I still don’t get it.
Periodically I find myself simply linking to Joss Whedon interviews, without comment, just for their extreme funniness. Some people have to mine and smelt humor, like some exotic alloy. For Whedon humor just seems to be a naturally occurring resource. I’m sure he has tons of inner pain or something. God I hope so.
Update: Dr. Horrible …
The exciting conclusion of 14-year-old Matt Selman’s 1986-era A Prologue to the Dark Knight. Any similarities between this and 37-year-old Christopher Nolan’s 2008-era The Dark Knight are surely not coincidental.
SCENE 2
Batman disregards Alfred’s warning, and is captured by the police while trying to kill the Joker. Enter Batman …
This wasn’t actually sent from my iPhone 3G. I’m waiting till I get home to sync it with my Powerbook. But I do have it. (Have = Apple has loaned me a unit for review purposes.) It’s sitting on my desk, charging up through its surprisingly weensy charger.
The scene at the store (the glass cube store in midtown Manhattan) was sedate, …
This week’s Time has my profile of moot, the 20-year-old founder of 4chan. I first became aware of 4chan when I failed to credit them as the creators of lolcats, and they got in touch en masse to point that out. Now I see their influence everywhere — 4chan is like a black hole, invisible to the naked eye, but its gravity field is …
Jonathan Nolan’s The Dark Knight will be relased on July 18, 2008. Matt Selman’s A Prologue to the Dark Knight was written on April 27, 1986, months away from his fifteenth birthday. Whose work is truly, “an ambitious, full-bodied crime epic of gratifying scope and moral complexity”? You be the judge.
SCENE 1
Enter Batman and …
I’m pretty sure Fox is taking these down as they come up, so if this is gone, just search YouTube. (I’m also pretty sure there’s a copyright lawyer somewhere who earns money every time somebody says that.)
This is a must-watch for me, as is all Futurama-related filmed entertainment. Though I continue to believe that Bender is the …
